Diddy Riese equivalent in Santa Monica

I will be out in Santa Monica for an event on Sunday at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel, and since Santa Monica is not a place I visit frequently (Pasadena resident), I was trying to make the most of my day. Even though I will be having brunch at the event, I was curious if there were any "must-go" places for a snack/dessert/coffee in the afternoon. Maybe a Santa Monica equivalent to Westwood's Diddy Riese? ... doesn't necessarily have to be cookies and ice cream, but something I can't get out in Pasadena, or the greater Eastern Los Angeles area. A westside original. Coffee shops, Patisseries, etc.
